Dove versus Secret: the clinical strength battle

When it comes to women’s deodorants more and more companies are releasing Clinical Strength options. With dosage’s of active antiperspirant ingredients that you once could only get with a prescription, you can now buy them quickly and easily at your local drugstore.

Since I typically run pretty warm (hee!), I decided to test two of the major contenders: Dove Clinical Protection and Secret Clinical Strength.

Basically they are both very equal. Both provided excellent protection during hot, humid days spent outside. To chose one, I’d pick the Dove variety since I love the Cool Essentials scent, plus it feels a bit softer under my arms. Sometimes high aluminum deodorants can be “too dry” and cause itchiness. While I didn’t itch with the Secret, it didn’t feel as comfortable all day as the Dove did. Unfortunately, the Dove is a dollar more (boo!). But if you act quickly both are currently Buy One, Get One half off at Drugstore!
